God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 793 Steam Engine Ship

There are still many days before March, and during this period of time Zheng Liwan stayed in the East Palace very happily, mainly because she was able to chat with Wu Zetian, and her relationship with Li Chengqian gradually deepened.

On this day, Li Chengqian, Wu Zetian and Zheng Liwan were walking in the back garden.

The temperature has been rising recently, and the signs of spring are becoming more and more obvious.

The three were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It is rare to have such an atmosphere. Li Chengqian originally thought that Wu Zetian would be jealous, but now it seems that he is overthinking.

There are also a large number of guards around to protect him. After what happened last time, Li Chengqian was afraid.

Suddenly, Guan Lishi came to report.

"His Royal Highness, the third prince and the fourth prince please see me!"

Li Chengqian heard that these two boys are not in the Ministry of Science and Technology, what are they doing in the East Palace?
"Oh? Let them in."

At this time, Li Ke and Li Tai came in.

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

The two said in unison, and at the same time, they also discovered where Zheng Liwan was.

Regarding Zheng Liwan's face, the two brothers stared closely at her, just like their father Li Shimin.

These two brats dare to stare at their own woman.

Li Chengqian coughed twice before the two of them calmed down.

"Who is this?"

Li Ke asked first.

Wu Zetian saw these things in his eyes, there is no man in the world who will not be tempted when he sees Zheng Liwan, and the two brothers are the same.

She responded on Li Chengqian's behalf: "This is Zheng Liwan, the future concubine of His Royal Highness, who will get married in March. Your future sister-in-law!"

As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, the two brothers felt rude.It turned out to be Li Chengqian's concubine!
Li Tai first said: "Tai'er has seen the future sister-in-law!"

"It turns out that you are Zheng Liwan. It is better to meet you than to be famous! I am amazed to see you today. My brother is so lucky!"

Li Tai also said: "That's right, after the eldest brother married the beautiful princess, it is really a blessing to marry such a beautiful woman!"

The two brothers talked to each other, which made Zheng Liwan a little shy.

"The two princes praised me absurdly, the little girl can't bear this!"

"From now on, you will be our sister-in-law, so be it!"

Li Ke said again.

"You two brats, when did your mouth become so sweet?"

Li Chengqian asked.

Li Tai laughed.

"I still learned from my elder brother, but it's a pity that I can't learn the essence, and I can't find such a beautiful wife!"

There is a sour meaning in these words.

Li Chengqian gave them [-] yuan.

"It seems that you have grown up. When I turn around, the king and His Majesty's mother will let you get married earlier so that you can settle down and stop thinking about it."

Li Chengqian said.

The two bluntly said: "There are not many talented and beautiful people like the two sister-in-laws."

What these two said made Wu Zetian and Zheng Liwan blush.

But Wu Zetian said: "You two princes, I know a few talented women, maybe I can recommend them?"

Li Ke said: "This has to be checked by the elder brother. As long as the elder brother says it is okay, it is fine."

"Okay! This king promises you, and I will ask your sister-in-law to pay attention to you later. It seems that you are going to grow up."

"Thank you so much bro!"

The two saluted.

Li Chengqian knew that these two people didn't just come here to see Zheng Liwan.

So he asked directly: "You came to the East Palace to find this king not only for the sake of the female relatives, right?"

They laughed!
Li Tai said:
"Yes, I really can't hide it from my brother! Recently we started to study trains and built a lot of trains, but we encountered a problem with iron ore. Because the demand is too high, there is no supply for a while, and there is a need to transport On top of that, there are still many problems.”

It turned out to be like this. The minerals needed by the railway are huge. The iron stock in the Tang Dynasty is not enough at all. Even if there are Turkic people to mine it, it is far from enough.

Therefore, the two brothers Li Ke came to the East Palace to seek help.

If that's the case, that's a really big deal.

Li Chengqian thought for a while, then ordered: "Guan Lishi took out the map!"

Guan Lishi took out the map, and Li Chengqian spread it on the table.

Everyone looked at the map on the table, but couldn't see why.

What can this map do?
Nobody knows.

Even Wu Zetian didn't know what Li Chengqian wanted to do.

And Li Chengqian looked there for a while, staring at the map, fascinated.

Suddenly he cried out.

"There is a way."

He yelled, attracting everyone's attention.

They asked in unison: "What way?"

Li Chengqian pointed to the location of the map, and everyone was still in a daze.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "You see, this is the Guannei Road, and this is the Shannan Road. These two roads are rich in iron ore. At the same time, they also have sufficient water resources. The waterways will eventually flow into Chang'an, and we have to do The most important thing is to integrate the nearby iron mines through the waterway!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, but Li Ke said: "This is feasible, but the iron ore is very heavy, and ordinary ships are simply unable to carry too much ore. In this way, the problem is still not solved."

"Yeah, big brother, what the third brother said is right. If so, why don't we just use horses to transport it? It can be faster."

Li Chengqian smiled.

"You just don't know how to be flexible, where is your research on steam engines?"

The two were puzzled.

What's the deal with the steam engine?

"Brother, please clarify!"

"I want you to build steamships!"

"Steam engine ship?"

"That's right, using a steam engine as a power source will solve the problem!"

The two exclaimed.

"Why didn't we think of it?"

Things as complicated as trains can be studied, let alone ships, because their structures are simpler.

"So, if you want to do things in the future, you must think more comprehensively, and when you encounter problems, you must understand and think of solutions. After all, there are always more solutions than problems."

The two replied: "Brother taught you well!"

From this matter, Li Chengqian's knowledge is still Li Chengqian, his height has surpassed everyone by a lot, and he is an existence that his two younger brothers cannot catch up with.

"Okay, you guys go and deal with it, the border of the Tang Dynasty still needs to build a railway! The iron mine can't be broken!"

"Yes! Brother. Then let's go first!"

They saluted Wu Zetian and Zheng Liwan again, and left the East Palace.

As soon as these two people left the Eastern Palace, another person came to the Eastern Palace.

There is Xiao Huangmen to report.

I really have no time to relax!

Zheng Liwan was a little dumbfounded, it turned out that the prince was so busy, no wonder Wu Zetian asked herself to help him.

Li Chengqian felt that these things could not be more normal.

Without these things, he still feels unhappy!
